To find the area of the quadrilateral-shaped field, we can divide it into two triangles using the diagonal. Let's denote the vertices of the quadrilateral as A, B, C, and D, where the diagonal is BD. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Length of diagonal BD = 24 m - Height from vertex A to diagonal BD = 13 m - Height from vertex C to diagonal BD = 8 m ...
